Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, take 1 cup of gram flour and gradually add ¾ to 1 cup of water while whisking until you achieve a smooth and slightly thick batter.
  2. Fold in the finely chopped spinach, onion, minced green chili, and garlic into the batter. Add cumin seeds, turmeric, and salt, mixing gently until incorporated.
  3. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and drizzle a little oil to coat the base.
  4. Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the skillet, spreading it into a round shape. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
  5. Flip the pancake using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden-brown.
  6. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, keeping the cooked pancakes warm.
